She says that seeing bigfoot was so inspiring that she lost weight and got a divorce. Not kidding. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5512979/Woman-saw-bigfoot-SUING-California.html

It does not seem relevant to the argumentation in the lawsuit.

Did you ever try filter coffee from a speciality shop? Some coffee variants almost taste tea like. A whole different experience from your common bitter liquid

Is their shift key broken?

Furthermore, this blog post has outdated information and many of their problems with Matrix are fundamental for federated protocols. Good luck removing an email sent to another server, for example. JSON form is very well defined.

I can agree with the problem of DAG complexity building up, sure, but that is a tradeoff.

Those companies aren't polluting for fun, are they? If nobody buys their products, no pollution is done.

Of course, a valid counterargument is that buying alternatives is too expensive (or non-existent, which most likely also has to do with price). And then the valid recourse is politics, subsidising alternatives, or in my opinion the better choice: making polluting products more expensive (by means of carbon tax or cap and trade).

I think they imply that they eat no meat for more than one day in a week.

Beeper has some more tight integrations with the bridges made by tulir, like showing bridge health.

You don't know how to use it? Or how it works behind the scenes?

I think the problem was that they use a bot at the discord side, which can only react a specific emoji once.

Well, it's not called fediverse specifically in the case of Matrix. But yeah, it is a federated alternative to Discord.

hijacking affiliate codes is unethical and should be stopped but don't actually affect me in any way.

I mean, alright. But you could say "I don't care" about any infraction of freedom and/or trust. I trust software to not modify my intent, any software that does so without asking can not be trusted in any way.

The affiliate link hijacking was not opt-in. How could anything remotely like this be accepted in a privacy focused browser?

When Firefox had the mr robot extension incident everybody was (righfuly so) mad, but that was way less damaging than altering users' intent.

That's just pedantic
